Emil Frey Racing Lamborghini dominates GT World Challenge Europe qualifying at Zandvoort
Sep 30, 2020
Mikaël Grenier and Norbert Siedler produced a dominant qualifying performance in the #14 Emil Frey Racing Lamborghini to secure pole position for both of tomorrow's GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup races at Zandvoort.
Grenier booked his maiden series pole by leading the way in Q1, despite ending the session in the gravel, while Siedler prevailed from an ultra-close Q2 to lead a front-row sweep for the Emil Frey squad.
Both sessions were staged in damp conditions, though with no rain falling after the start of Q1 the lap times came down throughout. Grenier moved into top spot with nine of the 20 minutes remaining in his qualifying segment, setting a series of quick laps to establish a useful cushion at the top of the order.
He looked set for a comfortable pole, but there was drama during the final moments when the Canadian slid into the gravel. With the #88 AKKA ASP Mercedes-AMG of Timur Boguslavskiy also spinning the red flag was waved, ending Q1 with a few minutes left on the clock. The stoppage also meant that both drivers had their best times cancelled, but Grenier's second-quickest effort of 1m43.626s was still good enough for pole.
Jim Pla took second in the #89 AKKA ASP Mercedes-AMG, securing top spot in the Silver Cup class in the process. Ryuichiro Tomita was third in the #31 Belgian Audi Club Team WRT entry, followed by impressive youngsters Oscar Tunjo (#2 Toksport WRT Mercedes-AMG) and Arthur Rougier (#25 Sainteloc Racing Audi).
